Science does not take a stand one way or the other on a creator. Science is creating the best model to fit the data discovered to date. As that data is revised and new discoveries are made, the models themselves must also be revised to incorporate the new data. That sounds real good and doubtless many scientists do just as you say, but the field of evolution and abiogenesis specificially excludes the possibility of a creator so the data is never revised in that direction regardless of the evidence.

No, evolution and abiogenesis make no statements regarding the existence of any creators. The word "creator" does not appear anywhere in the theory of evolution or in any abiogenesis hypothesis. Evolution is a theory relating to a process in biological organisms and abiogenesis is the concept of "life" forming via some process from "nonliving" organic components. Neither idea exclude the possibility of a creator doing anything beforehand.
